Commonwealth Games 2014: Top 14 moments in the competition’s 84-year history

1. The 'Miracle Mile', Vancouver 1954
Earned its name as the race was such a great spectacle, with England’s Roger
Bannister and Australian John Landy – the only two
sub-four-minute milers in history, running against each other in top
condition. The pair managed to run sub-four minutes again, with Bannister
pipping his rival. “The last lap was one of most intense and exciting
moments of my life,” he later wrote. “Landy had shown me what a race could
really be at its greatest.”
